The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nice try Albaby, what about the 34 felonies pal, focus. If you like to play games come to Vegas, I’ll take you to dinner. Thank you.

Trump was convicted after a trial - which is usually a pretty good indication that there existed sufficient evidence to persuade a jury that the defendant committed actions that violated the criminal law of the jurisdiction.

I mentioned Turley and the classified documents case specifically to illustrate that it can be the case that there are "really smart people" that reach different conclusions about the choice to bring an indictment. I know that you regard Turley as a really smart person - but there he was, disagreeing with Dershowitz and Geragos and the other people on your list about that indictment. Turley thought it was a very strong indictment, even while other Trump supporters disparaged it.

So just throwing out the names of some smart people that disagreed with the decision to charge Trump doesn't indicate that the decision was "unfair" - it simply means that there were smart people willing to opine that it shouldn't have been brought. I personally thought it would be a difficult case to win, and said so on this board:

...but I'm not a prosecutor, and obviously Bragg was correct that this was a case that was legitimate enough to prosecute.
